Chapter 3072

Author: Anastasia Marie
"What do you mean by that?" Lucas asked in return.

"Like if she had some incurable disease, or if she... was disabled, or if something was wrong with her body," Minnie said.

Lucas looked up and stared at her. "Why are you saying this?"

Minnie felt incredibly nervous, and her palms were sweating.

She tried hard to calm herself and said, "Just... just like you said earlier, she might have been injured, so she couldn't come back. I was thinking maybe her injury is more serious, making it hard for her to return anytime soon."

"She will always be my wife no matter what happens to her. I just want her to be alive and come back to me someday,” Lucas said.

As long as that was the case, he would do his utmost best to protect and care for her, ensuring she never faced danger or harm ever again.

"Great." Minnie sighed in relief. As long as Lucas didn't mind Coco's disability, Coco's insecurities would eventually dissipate, and she would get back together with Lucas.

    Violet's gaze fell on the cloth, and she said, "Hey, your cloth got splashed by my drink. It's a bit torn. How about I replace it with a new silk ribbon? It'll look much better."Although she didn't understand why this man had such a piece of cloth wrapped around his wrist, he was very attractive, and his attire suggested he was wealthy. Most importantly, Violet had made a bet with her friends that she could get something from him.With that thought in mind, she decided to remove the cloth herself. After all, it was still something from the handsome man. However, before she could touch it, Lucas grabbed her wrist violently. Crack! Violet screamed in pain as her wrist broke.Minnie was startled, and Violet's friends were utterly shocked. No one expected Lucas to react so violently."Replace it? Do you know what this is?" His icy voice matched his cold expression as he pressed her head against the wall with a forceful grip.The woman screamed and struggled in pain.Knowing

    Minnie tried to pull Lucas away from Violet, but he shoved her away, causing her to fall hard to the ground.Ouch! Minnie silently screamed in pain, but more than her physical pain, she was worried about Lucas losing control. To him, the cloth on his wrist being soiled was like a fuse that ignited all his pent-up emotions.Seeing that he might actually kill someone, Minnie urgently shouted, "Lucas, stop! Coco wouldn’t be happy if she knew you killed someone because of her!” “Is that so?” A murderous glint flashed across Lucas’s eyes. “She disappeared because I wasn’t ruthless enough back then. If I had been more heartless, maybe she would still be here with me now..."If he had eradicated the Stewart family or hadn’t saved Snow, Coco wouldn’t have been in danger.Lucas loathed himself for causing Coco to suffer because of his soft personality. Noticing Lucas was about to lash out again, Minnie hurriedly told him the truth. “Lucas! Coco is alive, and she’s back! I’m not ly

    Coco wondered if Minnie needed something from her. Coco opened Minnie’s message, and it was a picture of Lucas!Tears welled up in Coco's eyes as she stared at the person in the photo who had lost a lot of weight. She had only seen him from afar that day, but this photo was so clear and vivid. Coco felt heartbroken at the sight of Lucas looking so haggard. If her leg wasn’t in this condition, she would be eager to show up in front of him.Coco had been feeling inadequate being with Lucas back then, and she was feeling even worse as a cripple now. Just then, there was an urgent knocking on the door. Coco thought Minnie had forgotten her keys. She quickly wiped away her tears, not wanting her friend to see her cry.Using her crutch, Coco hobbled to the door and opened it. "Minnie, you—"Coco froze in place. The person she had seen on her phone was standing at the door. She couldn’t believe that they would meet like this after a year.Lucas’s hair was disheveled, and he was p

    Lucas trembled, and he tightened his embrace around Coco even more."You shouldn’t apologize at all. It’s me! It’s my fault for not finding you and letting you face such danger!” Lucas murmured. After a long while, he finally loosened his embrace and carefully examined Coco.His fingers trembled as he traced her facial features and hair. “Your hair... it’s short now.” “Yeah, it’s easier to manage,” Coco said. When she was under Leia’s care, her long hair had been a hindrance. Cutting it short was the most convenient option.As Lucas’s gaze moved downward, his eyes widened at the crutch under her arm. "What happened to you? Are you hurt?!"Coco's body stiffened, and she instinctively tried to back away. However, she couldn’t move as Lucas's arm was around her waist.“I... I’m fine,” she stammered in a panic.“Come on, let me take a look.” Lucas anxiously knelt and wanted to lift her long skirt. Coco staggered a few steps back. "No, there... there's nothing to see.""Coco,

    Lucas was shocked at the sight of Coco’s right calf. He knew all too well what her leg used to look like. "Pretty ugly, isn't it?" Coco said awkwardly. "Actually... there's really nothing much to see. Sometimes, I don't even want to look at it."Upon hearing that, Lucas was stunned. Coco’s deformed leg and the hideous scar on it told him all about the pain she had endured. It was something that she wouldn’t have had to suffer if it wasn’t because of him. “Alright, stop looking,” Coco said and tried to cover her calf again. However, Lucas stopped her and bent down to kiss her deformed calf and the scar on it."I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for all the pain you've been through," he croaked.Coco stared blankly at the man before her. Lucas was kissing her calf with closed eyes, and each kiss burnt her skin. Her heart was pounding so hard that it felt as though it was leaping out of her throat.She tried hard to calm herself. His actions would only make her more reluctant to let go o

    "Lucas! I don't want to go to the hospital," Coco quickly said. "There isn’t a need for that!”"Coco, please, let me take you to the hospital and have the doctor examine you again, okay?" Lucas's voice was almost pleading. "I don't know who your previous doctor was, and I will ask another doctor to examine you. I will try my best to fix your leg!” Coco couldn’t refuse him at all. Then, Lucas carried Coco out of Minnie's apartment and quickly got into his car which was waiting downstairs.He placed her in the car and instructed the driver to head to the hospital. On the way, he called his subordinates to arrange for a specialist to examine Coco as soon as they arrived.Coco nervously clutched her skirt, and Lucas placed his hand over hers. "Don't worry. I'm here with you."She looked up and met his eyes, which were now filled with concern for her.“Don’t worry, Coco. I will handle every single problem you have. You just need to stay by my side, and I'll do everything in my po

    However, once they were in the car, the driver drove them to Lucas’s villa. “I can just stay at Minnie’s place!” Coco said hastily. She wasn’t totally ready to face him yet. She figured that Minnie had let something slip, which had led to this sudden encounter. “Since you’re back, why would you still want to stay at Minnie’s place?” Lucas asked.“Let me stay at my apartment, then. It’s more convenient and comfortable for me.” “What’s wrong with my place?” “Your bedroom is on the second floor. You’ve seen my leg now, and you know it’s hard for me to use the stairs.” Coco finally found a reason. “I’ll arrange a room for you on the first floor. It’ll be easier for you to move around,” Lucas suggested. “No, thank you. I’m not used to it,” she refused while keeping her head low. Lucas noticed her resistance, and he asked after a pause, “Coco, do you... not want to see me at all?”Coco was stunned. “No...”“Is that so? Then why did you let Minnie know that you’re back but

    Coco hugged the cushion and gently touched the comic book. “You must be hungry. I’ll ask them to prepare dinner and set up a bedroom for you. All your stuff is still here. I’ll have them moved to the new room,” Lucas said and immediately instructed the servants.Coco noticed Lucas was being cautious around her, and it burdened her. She didn’t want him to act this way as it only made her more aware of her change. Just then, Lucas’s phone rang, and he quickly answered Minnie’s call. “Are you with Coco right now?” Minnie asked anxiously. “Yeah.”“Let me have a word with Coco.” Lucas glanced at Coco and handed the phone to her. “It’s Minnie. She probably couldn’t reach you, so she called me.”Only then did Coco remember that her phone was still at Minnie’s place.Minnie’s urgent voice came through the phone. “Coco, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to reveal that you’re back, but... if I hadn’t, a murder case would have happened in town.” Then, she quickly summarized the events at

    “……” Morgan suddenly found himself unable to retort. She... wasn't wrong. “But when you play house, you can pretend to be parents with one person today and another person tomorrow. Real marriage is different; you can’t choose someone else.”Renee widened her eyes, listening intently.“The only person you can choose is me. Do you understand, Renee?” he continued.She nodded vigorously. “I understand!”“Do you really?” Morgan asked, a little skeptical. He was already fifteen, so he could grasp the concept of marriage, but she was only eight. Could she truly comprehend it?“So, in the future, I can only marry Morgan and be your bride, right? I can't be someone else's bride, right?” she asked. “I don’t want to marry other boys anyway. I like you the most, Morgan. Of course I’ll only be your bride!” she happily declared, her worries fading away.So she could be Morgan's bride when she grew up! That's great!After finishing another piece of snack, Renee thought of something. She put o

    Despite her unease, she couldn’t resist when she saw the sweet desserts. She indulged herself.However, as she ate, her eyes remained fixed on Morgan, clearly still waiting for him to clarify Lucy’s claims.“You want to know if you’re a child bride, right?” Morgan began.Renee nodded.“Do you know what a child bride is?” he asked.She blinked. She had a vague idea, but not enough for her to articulate it.“To put it simply, a child bride is a girl raised by a boy's family. The girl will marry the boy when she comes of age. In the old days, some families were too poor to raise their daughters, so they would sell their daughters to become child brides for richer families,” Morgan explained.Renee blinked. “But my parents aren’t poor, and I'm raised by them, not by other people. That means I’m not a child bride, right?”“Correct, you are not,” Morgan affirmed.She breathed a sigh of relief, and a bright smile spread across her face. “I knew it! My parents would never sell me! The

    "Morgan!" Renee turned to Morgan, unease etched on her face."The Moon family, eh? I'll remember this," Morgan replied calmly, then lowered his head to meet Renee's anxious and confused face. "Let's go, Renee. I’ll tell you what you want to know later."He led her away holding her hand.Benson looked worried. "Miss Lucy, how could you say that?""It's the truth!" Lucy shook off her fear and spoke defiantly. "Daddy and Mommy said she’s a child bride. A child bride is a girl sold by her own parents!""But the White family is not like that. Those things only happened to daughters of poor families in the old days," Benson explained. "You really shouldn’t have said that, Miss Lucy. You shouldn’t do that again.""Why do I have to listen to you?" Lucy retorted, displeased.Benson was too ashamed to tell Lucy in front of others that the Moon family simply couldn’t afford to offend Morgan. Dealing with the White family was already a headache, and Morgan's background was even more formi

    Benson and Lucy were also dumbfounded. Benson started getting anxious. He felt like things were starting to unfold in ways that he did not expect."Mr. Grimes, I..." Benson stepped forward, intending to speak to Mr. Grimes.However, Mr. Grimes moved past Benson without so much as a glance at him. He went up to Morgan and said, "Master Morgan, I apologize for the oversight!"Everyone was stunned to hear that, including the security guards who had been called over. They were secretly relieved they hadn't forcibly removed anyone yet. If they had offended someone Mr. Grimes was showing so much respect to, it would have been really bad for them!Morgan regarded Mr. Grimes with an unreadable expression. He calmly recounted the situation to Mr. Grimes.After hearing about what happened, Mr. Grimes responded, "This set of stamps was not pre-ordered. If you like it, please take it. Feel free to take anything else in the exhibition that catches your eye."This declaration shocked every

    "Who are you?!" Benson exclaimed, astonished. The mysterious figure remained silent, simply looking at Morgan.Morgan calmly reiterated to Benson, "I said, wait for Mr. Grimes." He then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. "I'm Morgan Wood. Please have Mr. Grimes from Lazy Cat Culture come to the Sleepy Cat Exhibition in Solaria. He should be in the area, right?"After ending the call, the person on the other end stared at the phone in disbelief.The Sleepy Cat Exhibition? What's going on?Benson, Lucy, and the staff stared at Morgan in shock, but the look in their eyes quickly turned to ridicule."Ah, a young man's naive bravado – how impudent!" Benson scoffed."Sir, please don't cause trouble," the staff member warned. "Or I'll have to call security."Morgan simply lowered his head to say to Renee, "Looks like we'll be here for a while. If you're bored, I can ask someone to walk around with you."Renee shook her head. "Morgan, what if this stamp set has really been p

    Benson's words were not only meant to exert pressure on the staff, but also to inform him that they were on the same side.As expected, when the staff heard what he said, there was an instant change in his expression. He turned to Morgan and Renee and said, "I'm sorry, but it turns out this stamp set has already been pre-ordered by this customer."Morgan saw through the so-called pre-order as nothing more than an act. "When I asked you to wrap it up earlier, I didn’t hear you mention it was pre-ordered.""We forgot to mention that. Our apologies," the staff replied.Lucy, wearing a smug expression, raised her chin at Renee, causing Renee to puff out her cheeks in frustration.Benson calmly observed Morgan and Renee. The White family's White Maple Group had numerous overlapping businesses with the Moon Group. They were often competing with each other. Originally, the White Maple Group’s business activities weren't concentrated in Solaria, so even though there was competition wi

    But before Morgan had even finished speaking, a girl's voice piped up, "I want this stamp set!"He turned to the voice and, upon seeing who it was, narrowed his eyes slightly. It was Lucy Moon, the girl Renee mentioned earlier. At the sight of Lucy, Renee immediately reacted like an angry little kitten. "Lucy Moon, why do you always try to take my stuff away?""Your stuff? How is this your stuff? You haven't paid yet!" Lucy shot back, her eyes fixed on Morgan.Morgan was well-known in their class, admired by many girls who claimed he was even more handsome than movie stars. If only Lucy had a big brother like that! She would be the envy of all the girls in class... no, all the girls in school!Unfortunately, her own big brother was not as good-looking.Last time, Lucy had tried to give Renee Sleepy Cat toys, asking for Morgan's email address in return. However, Renee accepted gifts from everyone but her, which infuriated Lucy."But if you want, I can give this stamp set to Re

    Unlike many wealthy kids, Renee was quite restrained with her spending. She had never spent recklessly and often saved leftover money. Of course, when she wanted something beyond her budget, she would act cute and ask her Daddy or Morgan to buy it for her.Lisa was the least susceptible to her charms, so Renee didn’t dare to bother her!When they arrived at the exhibition, Renee’s eyes sparkled with excitement. There were so many adorable Sleepy Cat merchandise! They're all so cute! She wanted a lot of them, but realizing her limited budget, she knew she needed a sponsor! The best one was right beside her: Morgan!"Morgan," she said, flashing him a super bright smile.Seeing her like this, Morgan immediately knew she wanted to ask him for something. "What is it? Do you want me to buy you Sleepy Cat merchandise?""You’re so smart, Morgan! No wonder so many girls in our class like you and asked me for your phone number!" Renee praised him.As soon as she mentioned it, Morgan'

    "Okay," Renee replied obediently, snuggling up to Morgan and acting cute. "Take me to the exhibition, Morgan! I know you’re the best. You’ll definitely take me, right?"Morgan pursed his lips. At 15, he was no longer a little boy. Although Renee was only 8, she was his destined wife.He had been protecting her since the day she was born. At first, he thought that he would only marry her because according to the family prophecy, she was the one most suitable for him. Over the years, however, he realized that his feelings for her ran deeper than he had initially thought.He found himself wanting to help her fulfill her wishes, and would clean up the mess when she caused trouble. Things had become different from what he had expected, but he welcomed them. He felt grateful that she was the one who was destined for him!With her by his side for the rest of his life, he would never feel lonely."Will you get into fights again?" Morgan asked."No more fighting, I promise!" Renee quickly
